Hi all!
I've lurked here a long time but only just now decided that I had questions too aggravating to try to search for. It's been like pulling teeth to find this info, so I'm sorry if it's right in front of my face.
We're looking at going to DL this October with three-day park hoppers. I'm likely going to get them from LMTClub to save us a little bit of extra money (rather than going straight through Disney). There are a few minor issues here that I'd like to get answers to so that I know how best to proceed.
I've read in several places that you have to have an admission left on a ticket in order to upgrade it. Easy! We could just head to the appropriate spot and upgrade on our second day. However, we'd be best-served by using our MM on our third day since we'd be leaving the park a little early to catch a flight. Would we lose that MM because of the upgrade? It wouldn't be a deal breaker, but it would be a huge bummer. We could just use it on one of the first two days.
I was also wondering whether you actually can upgrade tickets not purchased directly through Disney (can they tell? I know I sound silly-- I'm sorry!); and, if you can, do they credit a) the amount of money you really paid b) the Disney-value of the tickets or c) nothing? I've found some conflicting information on this and while this won't sway us on whether or not to upgrade, it will change how much money we have to have in certain places at certain times. I'd also appreciate if anyone can tell me whether you can set up one of the monthly payment plans in person or if you have to sign up online to do that.
Thank you to anybody who takes the time to answer! This probably sounds really daft to everyone who knows what they're doing, but we've never even considered APs before now.
